Letter from the President of iD

A decade ago, we began with a simple mission. Concerned with growing a better world for our children, we set out to ignite the internalDrive in our students. Today, more students enroll at iD Tech Camps than any other summer computer camp. Nobody has dedicated their lives, passion and focus to this business like our team. We have a commitment to deliver the best. This is the iD Difference. We strive daily to realize the core values that guide us:

• Inspiration: ignite new interests and ideas while satisfying current curiosities
• Determination: encourage empowerment and personal expression through technology
• Education: high caliber hands-on instruction exploring relevant software and curriculum
• Awareness: illustrate how technology can impact our world
• Leadership: develop strong technical and life skills that extend past “camp”

We set expectations high - your children deserve that. It’s time to expect more. If you choose just one summer program, we hope you seriously consider iD. We welcome you to our family company.

Our 2009 season is now live!

Our crew has been working non-stop since last season to provide the very best season over. Registration is open and we are extremely excited about this upcoming season. A lot has changed over the past summer camp seasons–and a lot has remained the same. Hopefully you’ve browsed our website (maybe even visited my blog) and have a sense for the quality we stand for: An average of 6 students per staff, a No CIT policy, the right balance of fun activities, technology learning through amazing tech courses, friendships, and an ever-evolving commitment to risk management and focus on safety.

We operate our summer technology programs at over 60 prestigious locations coast to coast, and, in addition to iD Tech Camps, have launched cool teen-only, multi-week programs including the iD Gaming Academy, the iD Film Academy, and the brand new iD Programming Academy.

As we kick off the summer 2009 season, we hope you’ll share in our enthusiasm. We’ve been working tirelessly to meet your high expectations.

Here’s a sneak peak at what’s new this season:

• New and more convenient prestigious university locations.
• New courses, modules, and exciting new software incorporating Adobe® CS4, Maya® Unlimited, Microsoft® XNA®, Spore® Creature Creator®, Realm Crafter® Pro—and hot new commercial gaming titles.
• Many courses now incorporate social networking.
• Fun new life skills, teambuilding and camp activities to round out the summer camp experience.
• Technology isn’t just for boys. We’ve created courses that are well-suited for girls including Graphic Arts, Digital Video Editing, Web Design & Flash Animation and 3D Game Modeling with Maya. We encourage girls to check out all of the courses we offer.
• Year-round learning! Work with live iD instructors after summer camp ends. No additional fees.

• We continue our iD Greening initiative by promoting carpooling, reducing travel and energy consumption and establishing new outreach partnerships in the communities we serve.

Our mother (the quality “crusader”, co-founder and “Mom” of the company) and our hundreds of incredibly dedicated and inspiring employees thank you for making iD Tech Camps the largest, most recommended summer camp of our kind. Please feel free to give us a call. We’d love to hear from you. Phone toll free at 1-888-709-TECH (8324), option 1.
